Smith's also banned for two years from him holding a leadership position within the Australian team and 100 hours of voluntary service in community cricket.

The ban for breaching Cricket Australia's code of conduct extended to state matches but permitted Smith to play domestic tournaments outside Australia.

The Global T20 Canada consists of five Canadian teams and a Cricket West Indies representative team, made up entirely of players from the Caribbean.

A draft to determine who plays where will be held next week.

Tainted Australian cricketer Steve Smith, like his teammates David Warner and Cameron Bancroft could make a return to the cricket field before his 12 month suspension is over. Smith, it is understood, could return to the game next month in Canada as part of the Global T20 Canada tournament.

Bancroft, along with former vice-captain David Warner, have also begun their comebacks after also being suspended over the scandal.

Former Test opener Bancroft, who is serving a nine-month suspension, will play for WA club side Willetton next season.

Meanwhile, Warner - banned for 12 months - is committed to play a handful of Sydney grade cricket matches with Randwick Petersham.
